Bayern's Aleksandar Pavlovic Sidelined Indefinitely Due to Persistent Illness

The 20-year-old midfielder will miss key matches for Bayern Munich and is unlikely to feature in Germany's Nations League quarterfinals.

Aleksandar Pavlovic, a 20-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder, is out indefinitely with a persistent infection, according to the club's announcement.
He will miss Saturday's Bundesliga match against VfL Bochum and Tuesday's Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Bayer Leverkusen.
Pavlovic was absent from Bayern's 3-0 victory in the first leg of the Champions League tie, which was attended by Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Nagelsmann is expected to announce Germany's squad for the Nations League quarterfinals next week, but Pavlovic is unlikely to be included due to health and fitness concerns.
The Nations League quarterfinals against Italy are scheduled for March 20 in Milan and March 23 in Dortmund, with Pavlovic's participation deemed improbable.
